You’re no one in Hollywood unless you have a second career as a “designer” or are “working on an album.” I won’t even call most of the celebrities who have second careers in music musicians. Even with quotation marks, it’s still too offensive. The holy grail is getting all three. The list of celebs who have supposedly designed clothing lines is ridiculously long. By and large they didn’t design a thing, everyone has just replaced the word “endorsed” with “design.” Singing is a little harder to fudge – though computers sure can help.
Hayden Panettiere has jumped on the bandwagon and decided to join the ranks of other actors who struggle for musical credibility.
Hayden Panettiere is ready to work her vocal cords. She signed a deal with Hollywood Records before her Heroes TV show became a big hit and now she is ready to devote her time to working on a pop career.
Her new reggae-flavored song - Wake Up Call - has been written by Andreas ‘Quiz’ Romdhane and Josef Larossi, who have previously churned out hits for Halliwell, Diana Ross and Westlife.
She has also been working with U.S. fashion brand Candie’s, who will feature the track in a new summer ad campaign. The company will also pay for the star to shoot a video to accompany the tune.
The ad campaign will begin at the end of July, while the song will be released digitally Aug. 5. “Wake Up Call” will appear on Panettiere’s still-untitled debut album, which is slated for 2009.

I used to dislike Hayden, but then she got all “save the dolphins” and actually walked the walk – something you can’t say for most celebs. So I guess if there’s any celeb I’d grant my magical good wishes to, it’d be her. But I can’t help but wonder about the wisdom of releasing a reggae song. We’ll see.

Hayden has already done a single on a kids movie (Cinderella 3) She sounded great! This isn’t exactly breaking news, I believe the movies been out a few years.

I’m sorry I missed Cinderella 3 at the theaters…oh wait, it went direct to video, so unless you’re a Disney nut or have young girls, this probably is new information.
-
she’s nice..i never heard her sing but i think she will be doing good..(a normal instinct
)

So, were the Glamour Woman of the Year Awards just an excuse for all the women in attendance to get sloppy drunk? Because she almost looks like Lily here.
-
Funny thing is everyone else wants her to become a porn star.
-
Jody, you crack me up. So does the thought of Hayden Pane-whatever recording an album of shitty pop songs.

Why can’t these people just be happy? If most of us had a job that required hardly any physical exertion, education, sobriety, or responsibility - all the while being paid more in a week than most people see in 5 years, we’d be pretty happy just doing that wouldn’t we?
I’d like to believe this phenomenon stems from the fact that deep deep down in their subconscious they realize that they shouldn’t be pocketing seven figures for playing pretend for a living. It’s an attempt to somehow justify their worth by saying ’see! I have a talent and ability that’s worth these obscene amounts of money while single parents that work 70 hours a week can barely make ends meet’.
Notice I said ‘I’d like to believe’. Because deep deep down in my subconscious, I don’t think most of these people care half that much.

Scott, your confusion is misdirected in this case. The real mindf*ck is that she honestly thinks a reggae song is a good idea.
It wasn’t a great idea when Sinéad “Father Bernadette”O’Connor did it, and that woman had the voice of an angel.

I’d like to be a heart surgeon, so maybe one day when I become an idle rich cute flavor of the month, they’ll finally let me, right ?
-
This girl is eternally pudgy. Why doesn’t she focus on that?
-
Reggae? Uh, okay.
And I don’t think she’s pudgy. Sure, compared to anorexic-looking stars like Kate Bosworth and Keira Knightley [currently] she seems pudgy, but in general - she’s fine.

HHmmmm cindy Kennedy= anonymous realist?

HA! Kevin– I just spit my very hot tea all over myself.

Doesn’t everyone????? And regarding “designing” anything, they are called licensing deals, 90% of the celeb lines have nothing to do with the celeb other than them saying “Oh My God that tampon holder with the Hello Kitty on it is super cute!” next thing you know it’s the Paris Hilton tampon holder. Size Super of course.
